Abstract
Glycation refers to the covalent binding of sugar molecules to macromolecules, such as DNA, proteins, and lipids in a non-enzymatic reaction, resulting in the formation of irreversibly bound products known as advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs are synthesized in high amounts both in pathological conditions, such as diabetes and under physiological conditions resulting in aging. The body's anti-glycation defense mechanisms play a critical role in removing glycated products. However, if this defense system fails, AGEs start accumulating, which results in pathological conditions. Studies have been shown that increased accumulation of AGEs acts as key mediators in multiple diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, arthritis, cancer, atherosclerosis, decreased skin elasticity, male erectile dysfunction, pulmonary fibrosis, aging, and Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, glycation of nucleotides, proteins, and phospholipids by α-oxoaldehyde metabolites, such as glyoxal (GO) and methylglyoxal (MGO), causes potential damage to the genome, proteome, and lipidome. Glyoxalase-1 (GLO-1) acts as a part of the anti-glycation defense system by carrying out detoxification of GO and MGO. It has been demonstrated that GLO-1 protects dicarbonyl modifications of the proteome and lipidome, thereby impeding the cell signaling and affecting age-related diseases. Its relationship with detoxification and anti-glycation defense is well established. Glycation of proteins by MGO and GO results in protein misfolding, thereby affecting their structure and function. These findings provide evidence for the rationale that the functional modulation of the GLO pathway could be used as a potential therapeutic target. In the present review, we summarized the newly emerged literature on the GLO pathway, including enzymes regulating the process. In addition, we described small bioactive molecules with the potential to modulate the GLO pathway, thereby providing a basis for the development of new treatment strategies against age-related complications.

Abstract
The discovery of the enzymatic formation of lactic acid from methylglyoxal dates back to 1913 and was believed to be associated with one enzyme termed ketonaldehydemutase or glyoxalase, the latter designation prevailed. However, in 1951 it was shown that two enzymes were needed and that glutathione was the required catalytic co-factor. The concept of a metabolic pathway defined by two enzymes emerged at this time. Its association to detoxification and anti-glycation defence are its presently accepted roles, since methylglyoxal exerts irreversible effects on protein structure and function, associated with misfolding. This functional defence role has been the rationale behind the possible use of the glyoxalase pathway as a therapeutic target, since its inhibition might lead to an increased methylglyoxal concentration and cellular damage. However, metabolic pathway analysis showed that glyoxalase effects on methylglyoxal concentration are likely to be negligible and several organisms, from mammals to yeast and protozoan parasites, show no phenotype in the absence of one or both glyoxalase enzymes. The aim of the present review is to show the evolution of thought regarding the glyoxalase pathway since its discovery 100 years ago, the current knowledge on the glyoxalase enzymes and their recognized role in the control of glycation processes.

Abstract
Non-enzymatic modification of aminophospholipids by lipid peroxidation-derived aldehydes and reducing sugars through carbonyl-amine reactions are thought to contribute to the age-related deterioration of cellular membranes and to the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. Much evidence demonstrates the modification of aminophospholipids by glycation, glycoxidation and lipoxidation reactions. Therefore, a number of early and advanced Maillard reaction-lipid products have been detected and quantified in different biological membranes. These modifications may be accumulated during aging and diabetes, introducing changes in cell membrane physico-chemical and biological properties.

Abstract
The low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation hypothesis has generated considerable interest in oxidative stress and how it might affect atherosclerosis. However, the failure of antioxidants, particularly vitamin E, to affect the progression of the disease in humans has convinced even staunch supporters of the hypothesis to take a step backwards and reconsider alternatives. Preponderant evidence for the hypothesis came from animal antioxidant intervention studies. In this review we point out basic differences between animal and human atherosclerosis development and suggest that human disease starts where animal studies end. While initial oxidative steps in the generation of early fatty streak lesions might be common, the differences might be in the steps involved in the decomposition of peroxidized lipids into aldehydes and their further oxidation into carboxylic acids. We suggest that these steps may not be amenable to attenuation by antioxidants and antioxidants might actually counter the stabilization of plaque by preventing the formation of carboxylic acids which are anti-inflammatory in nature. The formation of such dicarboxylic acids may also be conducive to plaque stabilization by trapping calcium. We suggest that agents that would prevent the decomposition of lipid peroxides and promote the formation and removal of lipid hydroxides, such as paraoxonase (PON 1) or apo A1/high density lipoprotein (HDL) might be more conducive to plaque regression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND LDL modification by endogenous advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is thought to contribute to cardiovascular disease of diabetes. It remains unclear, however, whether exogenous (diet-derived) AGEs influence glycoxidation and endothelial cell toxicity of diabetic LDL. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-four diabetic subjects were randomized to either a standard diet (here called high-AGE, HAGE) or a diet 5-fold lower in AGE (LAGE diet) for 6 weeks. LDL pooled from patients on HAGE diet (Db-HAGE-LDL) was more glycated than LDL from the LAGE diet group (Db-LAGE-LDL) (192 versus 92 AGE U/mg apolipoprotein B) and more oxidized (5.7 versus 1.5 nmol malondialdehyde/mg lipoprotein). When added to human endothelial cells (ECV 304 or human umbilical vein endothelial cells), Db-HAGE-LDL promoted marked ERK1/2 phosphorylation (pERK1/2) (5.5- to 10-fold of control) in a time- and dose-dependent manner compared with Db-LAGE-LDL or native LDL. In addition, Db-HAGE-LDL stimulated NF-kappaB activity significantly in ECV 304 and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (2.3-fold above baseline) in a manner inhibitable by a MEK inhibitor PD98059 (10 micromol/L), the antioxidant N-acetyl-l-cysteine, NAC (30 mmol/L), and the NADPH oxidase inhibitor DPI (20 micromol/L). In contrast to Db-LAGE-LD and native LDL, Db-HAGE-LDL induced significant soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 production (2.3-fold), which was blocked by PD98059, NAC, and DPI. CONCLUSIONS Exposure to daily dietary glycoxidants enhances LDL-induced vascular toxicity via redox-sensitive mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. This can be prevented by dietary AGE restriction.

Abstract
Oxidative modification of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) is an important feature in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Aminoguanidine (AMG), classically described as an inhibitor of advanced glycation end products, turned out to be also efficient in animal models as an antioxidant against lipid peroxidation. The originality of the present study was based on the simultaneous assessment of the oxidation of LDL lipid and protein moieties in order to characterize the molecular sites of AMG protection. Oxidation of the LDL lipid moiety was monitored by measuring conjugated dienes (CD) and hydroperoxide molecular species from cholesteryl esters (CEOOH) and phosphatidylcholines (PCOOH). LDL protein oxidative modifications were assessed by evaluating apoB carbonylation and fragmentation. The LDL oxidation was mediated by water gamma radiolysis, which has the advantage of being quantitative and highly selective with regard to the free radicals produced. Here, we reported that AMG resulted in a protection of LDLs against lipid peroxidation (both in the lag phase and in the propagation phase) and against apoB fragmentation in a concentration-dependent manner, due to the scavenging effect of AMG toward lipid peroxyl radicals. Paradoxically, AMG was poorly efficient against apoB carbonylation that began during the lag phase. We hypothesize that, even in the presence of AMG, a nonnegligible proportion of (*)OH radicals remained able to initiate oxidation of the LDL protein moiety, leading to apoB carbonylation.

Abstract
Lipid oxidation is implicated in a wide range of pathophysiogical disorders, and leads to reactive compounds such as fatty aldehydes, of which the most well known is 4-hydroxy-2E-nonenal (4-HNE) issued from 15-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HpETE), an arachidonic acid (AA) product. In addition to 15-HpETE, 12(S)-HpETE is synthesized by 12-lipoxygenation of platelet AA. We first show that 12-HpETE can be degraded in vitro into 4-hydroxydodeca-(2E,6Z)-dienal (4-HDDE), a specific aldehyde homologous to 4-HNE. Moreover, 4-HDDE can be detected in human plasma. Second, we compare the ability of 4-HNE, 4-HDDE, and 4-hydroxy-2E-hexenal (4-HHE) from n-3 fatty acids to covalently modify different ethanolamine phospholipids (PEs) chosen for their biological relevance, namely AA- (20: 4n-6) or docosahexaenoic acid- (22:6n-3) containing diacyl-glycerophosphoethanolamine (diacyl-GPE) and alkenylacyl-glycerophosphoethanolamine (alkenylacyl-GPE) molecular species. The most hydrophobic aldehyde used, 4-HDDE, generates more adducts with the PE subclasses than does 4-HNE, which itself appears more reactive than 4-HHE. Moreover, the aldehydes show higher reactivity toward alkenylacyl-GPE compared with diacyl-GPE, because the docosahexaenoyl-containing species are more reactive than those containing arachidonoyl. We conclude that the different PE species are differently targeted by fatty aldehydes: the higher their hydrophobicity, the higher the amount of adducts made. In addition to their antioxidant potential, alkenylacyl-GPEs may efficiently scavenge fatty aldehydes.

Abstract
4-Hydroxy-nonenal (4-HNE) is a major by-product of n-6 fatty acid peroxidation. It has been described to covalently bind biomolecules expressing primary amine, especially the Lys residues in proteins. Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are well-described macromolecules to be modified by 4-HNE, making them available to scavenger receptors on macrophages. Those macrophages then become foam cells and play an active role in atherogenesis. This paper reports on the covalent binding of 4-HNE to phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), a major aminophospholipid in biological membranes. In contrast, phosphatidylserine (PS) is virtually not modified by 4-HNE. One stable adduct, the Michael adduct PE/4-HNE is a poor substrate of secreted phospholipase A(2) and is not cleaved by phospholipase D. Plasmalogen PE, an important subclass of PE, is covalently modified by 4-HNE as well, but appears to be further degraded on its sn-1 position, the alkenyl chain, which might alter the antioxidant potential of the molecule. An aldehyde homologous to 4-HNE has been characterized as a breakdown product of 12-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HpETE) and named 4-hydroxy-2E,6Z-dodecadienal (4-HDDE). This compound as well as 4-HNE was detected in human plasma. Finally, 4-HDDE appears almost 3-fold more active than 4-HNE to make covalent adducts with PE. We conclude that 4-HNE and 4-HDDE are two biologically relevant markers of n-6 fatty acid peroxidation that may alter the phospholipid-dependent cell signaling.

Abstract
Enhanced formation and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have been proposed to play a major role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications, and atherosclerosis, leading to the development of a range of diabetic complications including nephropathy, retinopathy and neuropathy. Several potential drug candidates as AGE inhibitors have been reported recently. Aminoguanidine is the first drug extensively studied. However, there are no currently available medications known to block AGE formation. We have previously reported a number of novel and structurally diverse compounds as potent inhibitors of glycation and AGE formation. We have now studied several of the existing drugs, which are in therapeutic practice for lowering blood sugar or the treatment of peripheral vascular disease in diabetic patients, for possible inhibitory effects on glycation. We show that that three compounds; pioglitazone, metformin and pentoxifylline are also inhibitors of glycation.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is characterized by complications affecting several organs, including the kidney. Lipid peroxidation increases in diabetes and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. In this study, we examined the ability of two antioxidants, vitamin E and probucol, to reduce lipid peroxidation in vivo and renal hypertrophy, an early stage of diabetic nephropathy, in rats. Animals were divided into four groups: non-diabetic, diabetic, diabetic treated with vitamin E, and diabetic treated with probucol. Animals were given antioxidants by intraperitoneal injection after induction of diabetes by streptozotocin injection. After 7 wk, lipid peroxidation in vivo was measured by analyzing urinary excretion of lipophilic aldehydes and related carbonyl compounds (LACC) as 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones by high-performance liquid chromatography. A number of urinary lipophilic nonpolar and polar aldehydes and related carbonyl compounds were identified, almost all of which increased in diabetes. Antioxidant treatment resulted in significantly decreased excretion of urinary LACC excretion. Antioxidant treatment of diabetic rats reduced renal hypertrophy. There was a high correlation between kidney weight and urinary LACC. Since LACC are accepted markers of lipid peroxidation, these results indicate that antioxidants can reduce the elevated lipid peroxidation of diabetes and may slow the onset of diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence that aldehydes generated endogenously during the degradation process of biological molecules are involved in many of the pathophysiologies associated with cardiovasular diseases such as atherosclerosis and the long-term complications of diabetes. Major sources of reactive aldehydes in vivo are lipid peroxidation, glycation, and amino acid oxidation. Although the types of aldehydes are varied, the important aldehydes that can exert biological effects relevant to the pathobiology of oxidant injury are represented by 2-alkenals, 4-hydroxy-2-alkenals, and ketoaldehydes. These aldehydes exhibit facile reactivity with proteins, generating stable products at the end of a series of reactions. The protein-bound aldehydes can be detected as constituents not only in in vitro oxidized low-density lipoproteins but also in animal models of atherosclerosis and in human patients with increased risk factors or clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis, indicating that they could indeed be involved in the caldiovascular pathology. On the other hand, a number of reactive aldehydes have been implicated as inducers in generating intracellular oxidative stress and activation of stress signaling pathways, that integrate with other signaling pathways to control cellular responses to the extracellular stimuli.

Abstract
Enhanced formation and accumulation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), have been implicated as a major pathogenesis process leading to diabetic complications, normal aging, atherosclerosis, and Alzheimer's Disease. Several potential drug candidates as AGE inhibitors have been reported recently. The aim of this study was to develop classes of novel inhibitors of glycation, AGE formation, and AGE-crosslinking and to investigate their effects through in vitro chemical and immunochemical assays. A total of 92 compounds were designed and synthesized. The first 63 compounds were reported before. Nearly half of the 29 novel inhibitors reported here are benzoic acid derivatives and related molecules, and found to be potent inhibitors of multistage glycation, AGE formation, and AGE-protein crosslinking. All 29 compounds show some degrees of inhibitory activities as detected by the four assay methods, 9 compounds demonstrated high percent inhibition (PI) in all tests, 30 to 40 times stronger than aminoguanidine.

Abstract
Enhanced formation and accumulation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGE's) have been proposed to play a major role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications, aging, atherosclerosis, and Alzheimer disease leading to progressive and irreversible intermolecular protein crosslinkings. This process is accelerated in diabetes and has been postulated to contribute to the development of a range of diabetic complications including nephropathy, retinopathy and neuropathy. Several potential drug candidates as AGE inhibitors have been reported recently. Aminoguanidine is the first drug extensively studied both in vitro and in vivo. We have developed a new class of compounds as potent inhibitors of glycation and AGE formation. The novel inhibitors reported here are aryl (and heterocyclic) ureido, and aryl (and heterocyclic) carboxamido phenoxy isobutyric acids and related molecules, which were found by in vitro assay methods to be potent inhibitors of multiple stage of glycation and AGE formation.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) and other pro-oxidant agents are known to elicit, in vivo and in vitro, oxidative decomposition of omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids of membrane phospholipids (i.e, lipid peroxidation). This leads to the formation of a complex mixture of aldehydic end-products, including malonyldialdehyde (MDA), 4-hydroxy-2,3-nonenal (HNE), and other 4-hydroxy-2,3-alkenals (HAKs) of different chain length. These aldehydic molecules have been considered originally as ultimate mediators of toxic effects elicited by oxidative stress occurring in biological material. Experimental and clinical evidence coming from different laboratories now suggests that HNE and HAKs can also act as bioactive molecules in either physiological and pathological conditions. These aldehydic compounds can affect and modulate, at very low and nontoxic concentrations, several cell functions, including signal transduction, gene expression, cell proliferation, and, more generally, the response of the target cell(s). In this review article, we would like to offer an up-to-date review on this particular aspect of oxidative stress--dependent modulation of cellular functions-as well as to offer comments on the related pathophysiological implications, with special reference to human conditions of disease.

Abstract
The deleterious age-related changes in collagen that manifest in the stiffening of the joints, the vascular system and the renal and retinal capillaries are primarily due to the intermolecular cross-linking of the collagen molecules within the tissues. The formation of cross-links was elegantly demonstrated by Verzar over 40 years ago but the nature and mechanisms are only now being unravelled. Cross-linking involves two different mechanisms, one a precise enzymically controlled cross-linking during development and maturation and the other an adventitious non-enzymic mechanism following maturation of the tissue. It is this additional non-enzymic cross-linking, known as glycation, involving reaction with glucose and subsequent oxidation products of the complex, that is the major cause of dysfunction of collagenous tissues in old age. The process is accelerated in diabetic subjects due to the higher levels of glucose. The effect of glycation on cell-matrix interactions is now being studied and may be shown to be an equally important aspect of ageing of collagen. An understanding of these mechanisms is now leading to the development of inhibitors of glycation and compounds capable of cleaving the cross-links, thus alleviating the devastating effects of ageing.

Abstract
In patients with diabetes, non-enzymatic glycation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) has been suggested to be involved in the development of atherosclerosis. alpha-Dicarbonyl compounds were identified as intermediates in the non-enzymatic glycation and increased levels were reported in patients with diabetes. We studied the effect of the alpha-dicarbonyl compound methylglyoxal (MG) on the physicochemical and biological properties of LDL. MG dose-dependently modifies LDL, as indicated by the formation of fluorescent products and the increase of a net negative charge. MG (10 mmol/l) induced major modifications of arginine residues (up to 85%) and minor lysine modifications (less than 6%). MG-LDL preparations generated small amounts of superoxide anion radicals as measured by the reduction of cytochrome c, but this was not accompanied by peroxidation of the polyunsaturated fatty acids of MG-LDL. MG-LDL showed diminished recognition and uptake by the human LDL receptor in cultured cells and a markedly increased plasma clearance rate in vivo in rats. The reduced association and degradation of 125I-oxidised LDL by murine macrophages indicates recognition of MG-LDL by a scavenger receptor. Surprisingly, MG-LDL caused significantly less cholesteryl ester synthesis in murine macrophages, as compared to native LDL and oxidised or acetylated LDL. Highly modified MG-LDL did not induce activation of human endothelial cells, as measured by the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1.

Abstract
Defects in the structure or function of the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (CSR) Ca2+-ATPase presumably contribute to the Ca2+ imbalance in the diabetic myocardium. The susceptibility to nonenzymatic protein glycation by glucose metabolites is suggested due to the relatively high percent of target lysines and arginines (approaching 15 mol%) at the ATP binding and phosphorylation domains. Brief incubations (15 min) of CSR microsomes at 24 degrees C in the presence of 5.0 mM glucose 6-phosphate (Glc6P) inhibited Ca2+-dependent ATPase maximal activity relative to controls. Inhibition was only observed when incubations contained 0.1 mM CaCl2 (1.86 micromol ATP hydrolyzed x mg-1 x min-1, +Glc6P versus 2.78, control). Nonconvergent regression lines drawn from maximal velocities as a function of CSR microsome concentration indicate an irreversible mechanism of inhibition which is supported by an observed depletion in CSR amine content (2.98 micromol -NH2 groups/mg microsomal protein, +Glc6P versus 3.34, control). Glucose 6-phosphate (5.0 mM) in Ca2+-free incubations (plus 0.1 mM EGTA) had no affect on either enzyme activity or total amine content. These data suggest that the E1 but not the E2 conformation of the CSR Ca2+-ATPase is susceptible to Glc6P-mediated modification resulting in diminished maximal Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity.

Abstract
Lipid oxidation leads to the formation of reactive aldehydes that may play an important role in atherogenesis by altering the normal pathway of lipoprotein metabolism and by exerting toxic effects on vascular wall components. Recent studies indicate that advanced glycation end products, which form spontaneously from the reaction of reducing sugars with amino groups, may promote oxidative damage in vivo. Moreover, the pharmacological inhibitor of advanced glycation aminoguanidine has been shown to lower circulating low-density lipoprotein levels in human subjects and to inhibit certain oxidative reactions in vitro. To define more precisely the potential interaction of AG with oxidized lipids, we have studied and identified the major products that form from the reaction of AG with the oxidation products 4-hydroxynonenal and malondialdehyde. AG was found to be an efficient scavenger of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes when compared to nucleophilic amino acids (Cys, Lys, His), suggesting that one of its mechanisms of action in vivo is to protect tissue constituents from the damaging effects of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Recent progress in our understanding of advanced glycosylation reactions in vivo has affirmed the hypothesis that these products play an important role in the evolution of both diabetic and nondiabetic vascular disease. Utilizing newly developed advanced glycosylation end-products (AGE)-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) techniques, AGEs have been identified to be present on a variety of vascular wall, lipoprotein, and lipid constituents. Vascular wall AGEs contribute to vascular pathology by increasing vascular permeability, enhancing subintimal protein and lipoprotein deposition, and inactivating nitric oxide. Lipid-linked AGEs present in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) also have been shown to initiate oxidative modification, promoting oxidation reactions that may proceed without the involvement of free metals or other radical generating systems. AGE-specific ELISA analysis has demonstrated a significantly increased level of AGE-modified LDL in the plasma of diabetic patients when compared to normal controls. AGE-modification impairs LDL-receptor-mediated clearance mechanisms in vivo and may contribute to elevated LDL levels in patients with diabetes. This concept has been substantiated further by the recent clinical observations that administration of the advanced glycosylation inhibitor aminoguanidine to diabetic patients significantly decreases circulating LDL levels.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are formed by spontaneous chemical reactions between carbohydrates and tissue proteins. The accumulation of AGEs in long-lived proteins contributes to the age-related increase in brown colour, fluorescence and insolubilisation of lens crystallins and to the gradual crosslinking and decrease in elasticity of connective tissue collagens with age. These nonenzymatic reactions, known collectively as Maillard or browning reactions, are also implicated in the development of pathophysiology in age-related diseases such as diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and in dialysis-related amyloidosis. Oxygen and oxidation reactions accelerates Maillard reactions in vitro, and the structurally characterised AGEs that accumulate in long-lived tissue proteins are in fact glycoxidation products, formed by sequential glycation and oxidation reactions. In addition to their immediate effects on protein structure and function, AGEs also induce oxidative stress, leading to inflammation and propagation of tissue damage. Thus, glycation of protein, formation of AGEs and resultant oxidative stress, which accelerate Maillard reactions, can initiate an autocatalytic cycle of deleterious reactions in tissues. Pharmacological inhibition of the Maillard reaction should improve the prognosis for a broad range of age-related diseases. The role of oxidative stress as a catalyst and the consequences of Maillard reaction damage in tissues suggests that antioxidant therapy may also retard the progression of age-related pathology.
